    We are looking for someone for 3-6 months minimum. Ideally six months. We are a family of four. Two children aged six months and three years. We are looking for someone that loves little people and experiences genuine joy from engaging in their world. Someone who can drive is also essential.

    We live in the beautiful, bustling town of Ennistymon. Five mins from the Atlantic Ocean; beaches, cliffs and twenty minutes from the burren. We are surrounded by music, culture, arts, agriculture, nature and an open minded, environmentally driven, surfing, climbing, foodie community.

    Our family are warm, communicative and busy. We are very dedicated parents and operate with children from a deeply empathetic and respectful place. This is a new paradigm of parenting for both of us and we would want a workaway person to engage with the children in the same way. If you are curious and passionate about the social, emotional and relational development of human beings then being in our home and helping us in raising our children will be a satisfying experience. And even an opportunity for you to explore and understand your own experience and how it informs who you are.

    We love our home, good food and being out in nature. Our daughter Fern is a force and full of love. She is a highly sensitive child and embodies everything that comes with that. The work of the workaway would be in learning how to attune to this in a loving and warm manner and being a companion to her. Beau our baby boy is a little bliss baby. I think it’s really important that a person applying to us has experience of either working or living with young children (under the age of 5) and is able to embrace the chaos, noise and fun of this.

    Hannah the mother will be off work with six month old baby. Haulie works an hour away Monday-Friday. We will have availability of family car for a workaway person.

    Your working week will consist of 25-30 hours over five days. Anything over 25 is obviously paid. I will need help in the mornings for an hour and then help again in afternoons/ early evenings. Please email to receive the current workaways timetable and what the day consists of. Briefly; main duty is being a warm, kind hearted and curious friend to daughter Fern, swimming, walking beaches and woods, cafe trips, Forrest camp/school, library, arts, crafts, garden time, domestic duties, shopping and cooking.
    To note we have a friend living nearby who is looking for the same set up, if you are travelling with a friend or partner and are okay with living separately your friend could link up with our friends and childminding could also be merged.

    The area is highly populated with musicians, artists, writers, environmental activists…. When it comes to the outdoors there is surfing, climbing, hiking, historical and folklore rich walks. The burren is a unique landscape both historically and geographically; where geologists, archaeologists and botanists come from all over the world to explore and study. There are yoga retreat centres, workshops, learn to build your own home centre, national tree planting charity, alternative education institutions; forest school, Steiner, democratic school. The community here range from young to old, local to international and very inclusive. There is various types of music played in different venues many nights of the week. We are close to Galway and Limerick city.

    The help we will need in the house will include; spending time with our daughter Fern; walks/cycling to the woods and beach, creative play, swimming pool, going for crepes and to cafe’s in the village, bringing her to Forrest school and Playschool; pick ups and drop offs and cooking family meals. Hannah the mother will want help with upkeep of running the home; shopping, cooking, general organisation, cleaning and tidying (we will have a cleaner come to the house for a deep clean once a fortnight).

    We have had two workawayers so far; one for a month and one for nine months. This worked out wonderfully and we learnt a lot. Fern our daughter formed a deep attachment, this being a very fulfilling experience for her. We would want someone who is willing to take on this role with her wholeheartedly and be prepared for the intensity of toddler emotions and character. And be able to respond to this with warmth, care and humour. We like to work collaboratively and create a sense of togetherness and friendship in the home. I am looking for company in this journey as much as anything else. Of course boundaries and privacy will also be clearly defined and we will keep communication open on a regular basis to ensure your needs and wishes are being met in the home, on your trip and role.
